ISFF/CASES99 Daily status 30 Oct 1999
Weather at 1100 CDT:overcast, 18 degC; light winds SSE at 5 m/s
Surface: saturated. Last night there was a severe rainstorm with
lots of lightning.
General: The good weather lasted until just before noon, Fri, 29 Oct.
The frontal system stalled over easter Kansas and the afternoon was
cloudy and very windy.
In the evening a severe rain storm occured and lasted well into
the night. There was lots of lightening and several inches of rain.
The complete data system crashed around 1700 and was brought
up again around 1100 on Sat, 30 Oct.
It was decided to run the data acquisition to undertake zeroing
and then to terminate data collection.
All the ADAMS have been restarted but Station 5 and 6 resolutely
remain dead.

General:
- At 0315, 24 Oct''99 one strand of the main fiber optic connection between
the network hub at the base of the tower and the data acquisition system
in the trailer was severed. The connection was reestablished at 0930.
No data was acquired during the period, 0315 - 0930.
Rodent involvement is suspected rather than that of a rival gang
of micrometeorologists.

General:
- Ragwort restarted at 14:40 CDT, Oct 16
- We hope to get the 20m h20/co2 working today. If so, we will return the
KH2O to station 6. We also have a replacement sonic for station 6.
Notes:
"up" - Deployed and transmitting data, but quality of operation has not
been checked.
"ok" - Data appear to be reasonable
BAD - CO2 and H2O signals at 20m are noisy. We are replacing the power
supply and are optimistic that this will fix it.
- The KH2O data from the PAM stations is out of range because the air
is too dry (< 6 gm/kg). If we change the range, the resolution is poor.
- The soil heat flux data from stn1 is too large.
X - Sensor is missing
? - questionable data
RH - RH values from 15m are low by about 2%, despite replacement of the

General:
- An overloaded circuit in our trailer caused power outages through the night.
We will map out the circuits today to fix this.
- Resolution changed on all 10m kryptons, so we are now able to see smaller
fluctutations. We changed to "ops2" in the beginning of IOP5.
- The sonic at 55m was dead through this IOP. We cycled power this morning
which revived it. (We should have done this last night.)
- I don't see noise on the stn6 krypton now. This may be due to changing
this station's config not to sample pp.
- We saw a bad signal on stn2 Rpile yesterday, but it appears to be ok now.
Notes:
"up" - Deployed and transmitting data, but quality of operation has not
been checked.
"ok" - Data appear to be reasonable
BAD - CO2 and H2O signals at 20m are noisy, though the average values are now
reasonable. Dave Auble found some questionable connections which he
tightened yesterday.
- The soil heat flux data from stn1 is too large - probably a bad
connection in the CR10.
WET - As usual, the CSAT sonic anemometers spike when wet.
[Nap] - Carmen Nappo (NOAA/ATDD) sensors are operating and are now connected to
EVEs at stns 1 and 5. He hasn't provided a cable to connect to
stn4 yet. Our resolution on this signal is about 5 ubars, which may
be too coarse in some cases (but this is the best we can do).

- Krypton hygrometer at stn6 has some spikes which do not appear in data

- The soil heat flux data from stn1 is too large - probably a bad

An IOP is now in progress, but we are going home (it is 11pm and we've been
here since before 9am). I've just scanned all cockpits, and the only obviously
bad sensors are the 20m H2O/CO2 sensor and the stn1 Gsoil. Hopefully, all
will stay going.
I also noticed a thick haze layer at sunset which should be good for radiative
flux divergence.

provide some insight.
[Nap] - Carmen Nappo (NOAA/ATDD) is still installing. These sensors will be
cabled into EVEs at stations 1, 4 and 5.
SPIKES - ati.40m has lots of spikes in high winds. I need to call Gary Z. to
figure out how to increase the transucer gain.
DOWN - T/RH on stn2 not transmitting - a recurring problem which needs to be
solved. Also prop died (perhaps after I played with the cable last
night).
Ragwort has recurring problem with crashes.

Notes:
"up" - Deployed and transmitting data, but quality of operation has not
(yet) been checked.
"ready" - Able to be deployed, but not mounted. Will try to get the CO2
sensors installed today.
[IC] - Pyrgeometer intercomparison using all CR10 loggers currently set up
about 35m S of 55m tower. Sensors and loggers will be reconfigured
once we are satisfied that the data from these sensors compare well.
Since the results appear to shift with time, Jielun and I agree that
more cases are necessary. I cleaned the domes last night which may
provide some insight.
[Nap] - Carmen Nappo (NOAA/ATDD) is still installing. These sensors will be
cabled into EVEs at 4 and 5 only. Their data system will be at 1
(but we won't get data from it).
SPIKES - ati.40m has lots of spikes in high winds. I need to call Gary Z. to
figure out how to increase the transucer gain.
DOWN - T/RH on stn2 not transmitting - a recurring problem which needs to be

csat.1.5m didn't come up after the software upgrade. We need to figure
out how to configure it properly.
Ragwort has recurring problem with crashes. We're trying to improve
cooling (either by removing insulation or resetting the thermostat)
to the box -- also for daisy.

I've started looking at data, but need to do this more.
[Cook] - Awaiting Dave Cook (Argonne) to bring/send one H2O/CO2 sensor.
The other is in hand, but is missing an AC power cable (but we may just
plug this into DC anyway)
[Mill] - Dave Miller (Univ. Conn.) is set up except for his 1.5m sonic. This
was awaiting a part which arrived yesterday, so should be up today.
[Nap] - Carmen Nappo (NOAA/ATDD) did most installation yesterday - we need
to be sure that these sensors are cabled into EVE. Should be up today.
DOWN - T/RH on stn2 not transmitting - a recurring problem which needs to be
solved.
Cosmos was left switched off last night. It is up now.
Ragwort has recurring problem with crashes. We're in the middle of
board swaps to fix.

DOWN - 40m ATI was spiking yesterday, so we removed it. We swapped stn4's
ATI with our spare UW to have another ATI to swap back in. I added
the hotwire mount to this, but both ATIs are now in the lab. (It was
too wet to climb today.)
